Tribute to the first Muslim superhero in the Marvel series
Critics hailed the release of "Ms. Marvel" as the first story of a Muslim superhero starring in a Walt Disney television show, which has been described as a "delightful" piece of "popular history".
The show revolves around Kamala Khan, an eccentric teenage genius and a fan of the comic book The Avengers, played by new Pakistani-Canadian Iman Vilani, who struggles to adapt to gain superpowers and become Mrs. Marvel.
In a five-star review, the Guardian newspaper said: "She is funny, charming and easily overcomes prejudices," according to the British network, "BBC" and "sbotnik".
"Normally you would fear for a young actor, but Villani seems to be born purple (the color of her strength) that she almost ignores," television critic Lucy Mangan wrote, adding that the two available episodes of the six-part Disney series were "full of charm, intelligence and warmth." And the truth.”
Marvel superheroes have come from the pages of comic books on television and movies since the 1970s, but recently there have been attempts to diversify their characters.
At the start of the new series, Khan noticed that there were no superheroes that looked like her, sighing, "It's not the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world," and focused her attention on being an artist, vlogger, and a fan of The Avengers instead.
Her situation soon changes when she encounters an old bracelet belonging to her famous Sufi grandmother. Mangan notes that the bracelet "allows her to link her strength to Kamala's Pakistani heritage and the trauma of partition in particular."
In a four-star review, the Financial Times said Fellaini's on-screen debut was "magic" in an "adventure story that is as much about heritage as it is about fighting evil."
Journalist Dan Enav described the series, which portrays the Khan family as an ordinary family, as "a small but important part of popular culture history", writing: "Kamala being a devout Muslim of Pakistani origin is not treated as an accidental (presentation) ... the series reflects With a sense of humor and sensitivity, the cultural gulf between parents rooted in tradition and children caught between their sense of identity and the desire to integrate.”
Khan first appeared in a solo comic book series in 2014, and Rolling Stone magazine described the character as "a truly fantastic addition to the ranks of Marvel's superheroes."
